THAT CONTESTED LAND.
The Merits of the Case Have Been
Decided.

An interview was had with City At
torney Van Devanter yesterday in regard
to land south of the city known as the
Nolan claim" over which there was
originally quite a controversy and which
has recently been the subject of an order
by Assistant Secretary Muldrow, of the in
terror department at Washington. Van
Deyanter states that there was a mistake
in the dispatch contained in the Denver
Republican and that it did not explain
the situation correctly. 1t is true that af-
ter the original contest the land was 10.
Gated by the city, which was then the
holder of two soldiers homestead
scrip certificates, and that with
in an hour thereafter Francis
Nolan appeared to file on the land under
the presumption laws OF the United States
on the ground that he was an actual set
tier on the land. and that his application
was refused. From this Nolan appealed
to the secretary of the interior, and the
appeal has now been disposed of by a
ruling which his filing is to be received
and the case heard on its merits when
final proof is made. While all this true
it is nevertheless the fact that the case
has already been heard on its merits and
that final proof has been made in regard
to the land, on which occasion the merits
and dement's of the city's clam to the
land and also that of Nolan's were heard,
tried and determined in favor of the city.
This was also appealed from the local land
Office here and is now pending before the
secretary of the interior. So that the sit
uation is just this: The department
holds that Nolan's filing is entitled to be
received and the case heard on its merits,
the case having been heard on its merits
and the decision thus far being in favor
of the city.

THE Y. NJ. G. A.
Its Membership, Objects, Purposes, aud
Prospects.

The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. which has Just been organized in
Cheyenne, is an organization deserving
Of the encouragement and support of all
classes, for the purposes which it seeks to
accomplish are worthy ones.
The main object which the association
seeks to accomplish is to furnish a place
where young men who have no homes of
their own can find a place where they can
spend an holr or an evening and not be
obliged to go to an hotel or saloon to pass
away their time. 1t is expected that the
association will 1901 be able to purchase
property Of its own and erect a building,
part of which hal be used for a chapel
and a portion as a reading room, and
there will also be rooms for other pur-
poses, such as lecture rooms, etc.
The officers of the association are DR..
w. N. Hunt, president; W. G. Knight,
vice president; r. N. Heath, secretary;
and Z. w. Riner, treasurer, and at pres
ent the society numbers fifty-cight mem
bers which it is confidently expected will
be increased to seventy-fve by Friday
night. Those who become members of
the association are not necessarily MEM
bers of any church, but the active mem
bers are supposed TO be such. Associate
members are entitled to all the privileges
OF the association except the right to hold
Office, vote. etc. Sustaining members are
to be those business mon and others who
assist the association in a pecuniary way
and are entitled to transferable certificates
of membership.
The association has two active commit
tees, the first is what is called the devo-
tional committee. which has charge of the
devotional exercises, and the other is the
visiting committee, whose business it is
to hunt up and interview every young
man who comes to the city and see to it
that he finds his way to the headquarters
of the association, etc. Altogether it is
an organization well worthy of the sup
port of our business men of all classes.

4 BURGLARY
Which is Laid to Mrs. Mary STAN
ton.

Mention has two or three times been
made of Mrs. Mary Stanton's doings and
shortcomings and now there is something
else to be said. a word as to who Mrs.
Mary Stanton is. She was once consid-
cred a respectable woman, and no doubt
was, but in the course OF time her name
was coupled with a former official of this
territory and eventually Mary Stanton be-
came the head of household of her own,
their being two besides herself in the
family, and they were children of the
same age. From bad to worse, etc"
On Tuesday Mary was fined and sent TO
the county Jail for the larceny of a door
key and some other trinkets, but before
she. was locked up she slipped away and
was rounded up at the pump house by
Sheriff Sharpless yesterday, brought back
and is now in Jail, as before stated a SER
ious charge now hanging overher. Yester-
day morning it was discovered that one of
Mrs. Helen EJenkins' houses had been
broken open during the night and several
articles of value taken away. This of
course is burglary and larceny, and as
some articles which Mary had with her
the day before and which were found in
the burglarized room yesterday morning
it is assumed hat she is the offender.

BITTEN By CENrIPEpE.-A we'll
known lady of Albuquerque was
picking blackberries in her garden,
when she felt something bite her on
the right side of her neck Just below
the ear. She quickly put her right
hand up to the place, when cent?
pede curled itself around her fore.
finger. She immediately brushed it
off with her other hand, and, strange
to relate, did not faint or scream, nor
brighten her husband nor daughter,
nor any one else, by calling to them
but ran into the house, and finding
the ammonia bottle empty, took a big
knife and stuck the blade into the
fire in the stove until it got hot, when
she applied it to the wound. Next
she took some soda, and applied that
fastening it by wrapping cloth around
her neck. BY this time her neck be-
gan to swell, and she says she felt as
though the top of her head was about
to secede, and closed her teeth
tightly to make sure that her head
was not gone. In short time she
felt greatly relieved, and then inform
ed her daughter. She did not even
call for a doctor, but she had procur-
ed a new supply of ammonia. Though
1t occurred several days ago the wound
now looks as If an ant had bitten her.
That lady would keep her presence
of mind in a railroad accident.

SIZE OF LONDON. any one were
to walk through all the streets of Lon

across the American continent from

would only give, if equally divided

| CONDOLENCES OF PARNELL AND
GRATTAN.-A sequence of coinci-
dences in the lives of Grattan and
Parnell was printed in the Freeman's
Journal, Dublin, Wednesday. They
are as follows: Grattan was born in
1746; Parnell exactly century lat
err. Grattan entered the Irish Par
lament in 1775, Parnell took his seat
in the House of Commons in 1875.
In 1870 was established that body
led by Grattan which enabled him to
achieve Legislative independence; in
1879 was founded that organization
Of which Parnell is leader, and which
bids fair to enable him also to regain
Legislative independence. The free
dom Of Dublin was presented to
Grsttan, and exactly a century later
the same compliment was conferred
on Parnell. Both were Protesfants.
Grattan attached himself to Fox,
who visited Ireland in 177S; Parnell
to Gladstone, who visited Ireland in
1878. A golden tribute from CRATE
full people was presented to both.
Grattan bought an estate in Queens
county, the stronghold of the Parnells,
but chose his home in county Wick
low, whittier Charles Stewart, Par
nell's grandfather, had migrated, and
also fixed his residence-Grattan at
Tinnehinch, Parnell at Avondale. I'm
1880 Grattan's declaration of Irish
rights was tiercely attacked by the
government; so, also, was Parnells
programme in 1880 by means of state
prosecution. Both were intended for
the bar in youth, but neither had a
taste for the profession. A base eff
fort was made to implicate Grattan
in the plots of his time, and failed;
the same remark applies to Parnell.
